Beautiful tempo. Makes such a difference. As my granny used to say, "...he was mad to get to the end of the tune".

As a child I listened to Paddy playing on the radio... Indeed Paddy composed many beautiful traditional tunes also that are still very popular with younger musicians... His daughter Eileen is a well known Fiddle player.

Great to hear this ...fine technique, nice tempo and a great sense of melody.

It is hard to believe musicians played in this tempo' before the wild up tempo style of traditional music came along. I'm amazed at how slow he was. Of course this was the proper tempo.

I wish they would renew Come West Along the Road. Every Friday evening, 7 o'clock on RTE 1, I never missed it and it opened up my eyes and ears to amazing music like this. The sheer effortless talent on display is incredible.
